The Beach Life jackpot had soared over the last few months, nearly doubling its previous record of $4.8 million (which was hit in July 2007) as more and more players piled into Playtech-powered online casinos trying to score a huge payday at the popular progressive jackpot game.While his name hasn't been revealed, we do know a player from Scotland hit the enormous jackpot on February 12.In his 20s, he claimed to be unable to sleep after being woken up by a barking dog in the neighborhood and decided to try his luck at online slots, hitting up King Kong slots first at £1 per spin and making £250.He decided to try to spin that up into even more, switching over to Beach Life. That turned out to be a very wise decision as it just took six spins at Beach Life before he hit the jackpot worth $8,211,488!The jackpot is the third largest ever won at an online casino and starts 2012 off with a bang after a busy 2011 with multiple winners of big progressive jackpots at Mega Moolah and other popular progressives.The newest jackpot winner will be flown on a private jet to meet Betfred founder Fred Done to pick up his winnings.
Would of like to have seen his face when he hit!
